Our relationship with Hayley and Chris is unique compared to most of our other couples. For one, we knew them before they became clients, and two, they live here in Emmitsburg with us. These two things have allowed us more time than usual to get to know them and the story of their relationship before […]

DC is a quiet city at 6 in the morning. At the start of Claire and Patrick’s engagement session, the pink morning sky stretched widely across the historical buildings and monuments.
